How do I check if a variable is of array type?
<?php
$array = (1,2,3);
if(is_array($array)) { echo "Look, an array"; } else { echo "You might be stringing me along"; }
//Look, an array
?>

Why would this function ever be useful?By: Dave Frost, 20 Nov 2008 07:43:02
It is useful precisely when you want to know whether you are dealing with an array or not, as the name suggests! This is useful because clearly you will want to treat the contents of an array differently to, for instance, a string.
